Advantages of NHT Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation provides natural and undetectable results. Unlike most other hair restoration methods, there is no troublesome post-op maintenance necessary. Just like your old hair, you can dye, perm, and cut your transplanted hair with no worries. Also, hair transplantation is not like a hairpiece, so you won't be restricted from enjoying your favorite activities such as running, swimming, and just about every other physical activity. As your hair begins to thin and bald, hair transplantation is a good option to replace those areas before they become significantly noticeable. The best thing about it is that it's your own hair.
  • Natural looking and undetectable results.
  • Continuous growing hair that should last for your lifetime.
  • No troublesome post-op maintenance necessary.
  • Maintains the natural characteristics of your original hair.

Limitations of Hair Transplantation

  • Because hair transplantation is simply relocating hair from one area to another, it does not increase the total number of hairs on the scalp.
  • Hair Transplantation cannot prevent future hair loss of your original hair.
  • Limited by available donor hair.

NHT Treatment Strategy

The dilemma that we face in hair transplant surgery is that the size of our head stays the same while hairs gradually fall out when aged. Less hair to cover same size of the head means reduced density. A patient may not satisfy from the hair transplant surgery because he can never achieve the same hair density that he had when he was young.

So, what treatment strategies do we have?

  1. Transplantation- Because of illusions from the human eye, it is difficult for people to tell the difference between 50% and 100% density with adequate hair length. Based upon this knowledge, we only have to deliver 50% added density to a recipient site to achieve a look of good density. This means that 1 cm2 of donor is able to cover 2 cm2 of recipient area and looks same density. (However, this also depends on age, expectations, and the contrast between the color of the hair and skin, so some adjustments may be needed)
  2. Medications- May help to grow new hair and prevent further hair loss. There are two FDA approved medications for hair loss. But they do not work for everyone and never work for the frontal/ hairline region. Medication only works when you are on it. After discontinue taking the medication, the hair grew back will fall out again in a few weeks.
  3. Target the right location for hair transplant to get best visual effect. We emphasize the most important area such as the frontal area and the area where you part your hair. We do not transplant same density on the whole scalp.
  4. Camouflage
  • Blow your hair and use Volumizing Foam
  • Perm you hair so the curly hair can grow longer to cover more area and looks fuller
  • Color your hair to reduce the color contrast between hair and skin
  • Part your hair from the side or comb hair to cover the vertex area
  • Use hair powder or cream to reduce contrast
  • Use hairpieces temporarily

5. Leave vertex empty-For patient with huge area or is very young, we may leave the vertex area alone to conserve limited donor hair.

In many cases, we have to combine several strategies to give the best result.
